I own a Mapex M (Maple) series right now. I'm going to the store to possibly buy some cymbals so while I'm there I figured I may as well buy new skins for my kit as well.
Right now, I don't like like the sound of my kit. If you need an idea of what it sounds like, I can make a video for you (no mics, camera does a pretty good job, though). Some of my toms just a bad "duuuung" after I hit it, and no matter how I tune it, it does the same thing. I think it is the bottom skin, though. Here's what I have right now.
Toms:
8"
10"
12"
14"
16"
18"
Kicks:
22" (x2)
The snares are good for now. I just replaced it on my Black Panther not to long ago.
I was thinking of getting both sides replaced. Here is where I'd be getting the heads at:

Now, price is a deal with me. I play Hard Rock/Metal, so I need something that can sound amazing whilst being under a budget. I also need something that won't "dent" as fast, since I am a hard hitter and I do use the toms a lot. Right now I have the stock Remo heads, but they are starting to get on their last legs. I am also willing to order online, but I live in Canada so it would need to be a site that is either here or is cheap shipping (customs and all)
I'm a first time buyer for heads, so I'm going into this completely blind.
Thanks guys.
